Abstract

[Solution] A control device is applied to a combination vehicle including a tractor and a trailer that is towed by the tractor. The control device is configured to perform a state quantity acquisition process, a predicted trajectory information calculation process, and a display process. The state quantity acquisition process is a process of acquiring a state quantity of the combination vehicle. The predicted trajectory information calculation process is a process of calculating predicted trajectory information of the trailer according to the state quantity. The display process is a process of displaying the predicted trajectory information by operating a display device.
